Sweet Potato Bean Burgers

‌

Ingredients

2 medium sweet potatoes
240 grams cooked white butter beans
1/2 cup white onion, chopped
2-3 tablespoons tahini
1 chia egg (1/2 tablespoon chia seeds mixed with 1-2 tablespoons water, soaked for 5 minutes)
1 lime or 3/4 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
a handful of fresh coriander or parsley
2 garlic cloves, minced
salt to taste
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup nutritional yeast or flour (such as buckwheat flour or oatmeal flour)
1/2 to 1 cup finely chopped greens (such as spinach or parsley)
1 tablespoon coconut oil for skillet

Bake the sweet potatoes in a 170 degrees oven until tender. If you are in a rush, you can also cook them, but they will be less flavorful.
Prepare the chia egg by mixing 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds with 1-2 tablespoons water and let soak for 5 minutes
Add the sweet potatoes and beans to a large bowl and use a fork to mash all well.
Add the onion and keep mashing.
Add all the remaining ingredients and mash more.
Heat oven to 170 degrees if you haven't done so already for the sweet potatoes.
Heat a skillet over high heat and add the coconut oil.
Form burgers from the mixture with your hands to the size you wish and place on the hot skillet. Saute for 2-3 minutes on each side, just to brown them. Repeat with all the mixture.
Place the burgers on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, until cooked through.
Serve the burgers with any topping or sauce you wish, such as crispy lettuce, mustard, vegan mayonnaise, or anything you like. Serve warm.
